Abstract
Dr. Leo Kannerhuis is a psychiatric centre specialized in autism. Our clients are primarily children and adolescents. Participation of parents in the treatment of their children is an important aspect within our treatment programms.
Dr. Leo Kannerhuis offers parents psycho education lessons which provide general information about autism and gives parents a better understanding about the meaning of autism. However, experience taught us there is need for more flexibility and accessibility when it comes to offering parents education about their child's autism.
Therefore, Dr. Leo Kannerhuis has recently expanded its classroom-style meetings on psycho education for parents with online lessons. By offering online lessons in combination with classroom meetings ('blended learning') more time is available for discussion between parents and course leaders during the classroom meetings. Consequently, parents obtain more in-depth information about autism related topics.
In other words, the focus of the e-module is much more on the interaction between parents and on intensification of autism related themes.
The e-module has been developed by a project group of professionals from Dr. Leo Kannerhuis and a multimedia expert. The e-module consists of three digital lectures: 1. 'what is autism?', 2. 'autism in your head' and 3. 'autism, what can you do'?. Each e-lecture will be followed by a classroom meeting. The online lectures contain informative visual presentations (with photographs, images and keywords) supported with a voice-over, combined with video- and audio fragments and a quiz. The e-module is accessible through the website of Dr. Leo Kannerhuis.
